Psychedelia

Just in, Hawkwind has postponed their upcoming US tour due to Dave Brock's ill health, their statement from Facebook:

"As many of you will now be aware, Dave was taken ill a couple of weeks ago. Doctors have confirmed that his condition is stress related, aggravated by the trademark dispute in the United States which could result in years of litigation.

After enduring a series of tests, Dave has now been advised that it could be dangerous to his health to embark on a grueling 14,000 mile tour at this time.

Cherry Red's Atomhenge label is due to release an eleven 11 (!) disc version of the classic Hawkwind live album Space Ritual in late September to celebrate it's 50th Anniversary. In addition to the original 2CD set, the set includes three complete live shows (Liverpool, Brixton and the unreleased Locarno Sunderland) newly mixed by Stephen Tayler along with a new stereo and a (presumably new) 5.1 mix.
